The research flow of “exaggerated” and “distorted” information about safer nicotine products is “not going to end any time soon,” says Dr. Brad Rodu, professor of medicine from the University of Louisville. Rodu has made a career battling forces responsible for pushing suspect science in the field of tobacco control. In this episode of RegWatch, he takes the CDC to task over EVALI and its teen vaping and smoking-related deaths data.
Is there truth behind the CDC’s numbers?

There is one issue with the potential to unite anti-vaping campaigners with pro-vaping advocates and business owners in the Canadian vaping industry, and that issue is enforcement. Both sides in the battle over vaping want to stop teen use of nicotine vaping products, yet the laws intended to prevent teen access are doing tremendous damage to the retail vaping industry while often going unenforced.
Joining us today to discuss the struggles of Canadian vape retail is Jason Flynn, Ontario-based owner of Vape Escapes retail vape shops, owner of Refined Liquid Labs, and current Board Member at the Canadian Vaping Association.
Is tobacco enforcement doing enough to stop teen vaping?

Since nicotine vapes first hit the market in 2007, the United States has been the lead driver of innovation and consumer adoption of these products, worldwide. But while the U.S. is still the largest market for vaping products, anti-vaping zealotry and regulatory insolence has all but destroyed the legal U.S. vaping industry. Case-in-point FDA’s recent ban on Juul.
Joining us today for a deep dive into the impact of FDA’s Juul ban and to discuss how the War on Vaping harms consumers is Alex Clark, CEO of CASAA, the national consumer advocacy organization for smoke-free alternatives.
What does the Juul ban mean for consumers? Find out!

As discussed on RegWatch over the past year, it appears Health Canada is taking a wrong turn on nicotine vaping. In a few short years, the regulatory framework, which legalized vaping, seems to have collapsed under the weight of a moral panic over teen vaping and malicious public health messaging linking nicotine vapes to a mysterious respiratory illness.
Dr. Jonathan Foulds, Professor of Public Health Sciences and Psychiatry at PennState University College of Medicine is joining us today to provide insight on the recent restrictions placed on vaping in Canada.

Anti-vaping activists cling to many shibboleths in their war on vaping, including nicotine vaping is a gateway to smoking, dual-use is a danger negating e-cig quit attempts, and vaping is an ineffective tool to quit smoking. But thanks to a growing body of research investigating e-cigarette use and smoking cessation, they are becoming tired and worn.
Joining us today on RegWatch is Dr. Jonathan Foulds, Professor of Public Health Sciences and Psychiatry at PennState University College of Medicine. Dr. Foulds is a trained clinical psychologist and has spent most of his career developing and evaluating methods to help smokers beat their addiction to tobacco.
Do nicotine vapes help smokers to quit?

Over the past months, several new research studies have released with surprisingly positive results regarding the most contentious issues around e-cigarettes. One study indicates that adult smokers who switch to e-cigarettes may have more chances to improve their health and well-being.
Joining us today to discuss the study are Dr. Rick Kosterman and Dr. Marina Epstein, research scientists from the Social Development Research Group at the University of Washington. Their study found better physical health, increased exercise, and more active social engagement. Amazing!
But is there a catch? Find out.
